THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING -
GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

This hard drive is extremely fast. I got it for $50 and i'm very glad. It is spacious and fast, so you be sure to fill it up quick. SATA-300 is like a dream. It's amazing. It puts IDE to sleep.

Works fine, great for backup. The only problem is the drive seems to become fragmented quickly. Great for the price

This is the best HDD i've ever owned. It's quiet and extremely fast. Not to mention it's only $60 and it's SATA 300. Highly recommend it. After this experience i've decided to never buy a ide hdd again.

Bought this drive for a new build. Easiest physical installation I have ever had for a hard drive. Total load time for XP Pro from initial boot to cd to complete at the desktop was less than 8 minutes (Last system build with a dma 133 eide drive was nearly 40 minutes). Boot time from scratch has gone from 79 seconds (complete including A/V and 3 utilities) to avg of 34 seconds. This is bonafide able to work time.
Very quiet, very stable, and benchmarks are off the hook compared to my old eide system.
